SW Global is one of the first information technology company to emerge from West Africa with a focus on solution delivery for both public and private sectors clients.

The SW Global model is a unique adaptation of the now well-known ASP model. Our on the-ground knowledge and ability for tailormade solutions, has made us a leader in eGovernment, eEducation and eHealthcare solutions across Africa and other emerging Markets.

Our model provides institutions with quick and easy access to mission -critical application and removes the need for direct total cost of ownership for business applications or expensive ICT infrastructure acquisition, as projects are completely vendor-financed, with investments recoverable on a subscription (or pay as you use) basis. This model means that unlike the traditional software industry, our clients do not pay any up-front fees for the solution we provide.

SW Global offers clients the ability to automate and manage their business processes, utilizing world-class software and web solutions. The turnkey solution ensures cost effectiveness, enhanced operational efficiency and increased transparency. We have been successful with implementing a new paradigm based on cutting-edge applications development and delivery processes that have been adapted to the unique challenges of the emerging markets.
